Happy New Year!! While every new year holds some level of anticipation, this year holds more than the usual for our family. In a little over 2 months, our small town, country-loving family is going to cross the ocean and enter a new world. Tears are already being shed as we say goodbye to our family and friends, but eagerness is filling our hearts for the fruit that will come as we follow the Lord's call. Small town Hoven will be replaced with Takoradi, a city of over one million souls; dry, frigid temperatures will give way to sweltering humidity; and beautiful wildlife will be missed as creepy crawlies become the norm. (I hear my new house has live-in "pets" such as squirrels, mice, geckos, and scorpions.) Yet with all these changes and more, I am comforted to know that our God will not change; His promises are still valid; and my life is still in His hand. I would like to take you along on our journey by way of this blog. I hope to share our discoveries and victories as well as our struggles and disappointments. This is new territory for me. I never thought this country girl would be a foreign missionary, but, with God, all things are possible!
Until next time...
Excited for you! This will be a year of huge changes, but it looks like you're already wrapping your head around them. God bless you in this hectic and bitter-sweet time.
